Description:
This Jamaican-inspired fantasy debut about two enemy witches who
must enter into a deadly alliance to take down a common enemy has the twisted
cat-and-mouse of Killing Eve with the richly imagined fantasy world of Furyborn
and Ember in the Ashes.
Divided by their order. United by their vengeance.
Iraya has spent her life in a cell, but every day
brings her closer to freedom--and vengeance.
Jazmyne is the Queen's daughter, but unlike her
sister before her, she has no intention of dying to strengthen her mother's
power.
Sworn
enemies, these two witches enter a precarious alliance to take down a mutual
threat. But power is intoxicating, revenge is a bloody pursuit, and nothing is
certain--except the lengths they will go to win this game.
""A thundering waterfall of magic, vengeance and
intrigue."" --Samantha Shannon, New
York Times & Sunday Times bestselling author of The Priory of the
Orange Tree and The Bone Season.
Brief description: Ciannon Smart is the author of Witches Steeped in Gold and Empress Crowned in Red. She grew up in a small town in the south-east of England. As the only daughter in a house full of boisterous sons, she developed a voracious appetite for reading from an early age, preferring anarchy in stories rather than real life. In YA she loves her heroines exactly as she loves her villains: willful, wily, and unpredictable. When not writing, Ciannon can be found reading, painting, or taking the long way home to listen to a good song more than once. You can learn more about her at ciannonsmart.com.
